It's just reminded me, after 30 years, to look up why 'Jackie Gleason walked into a precinct and gunned down a captain for no fucking reason', and I've discovered that I misunderstood the context, Jackie Gleason has nothing to do with gunning down a captain, it just rhymes with 'reason'.

Another thrilling story there from me.

I thought it was "after watchin jackie gleason," as in after he watched an episode of the Honeymooners or whatever on tv, he went to the precinct. Which sort of creates a vivid juxtaposition lyrically. Watching a funny comedian on tv, and then turning around and unleashing nihilistic violence afterward. But I could be wrong, just my interpretation.

Yeah I think that's exactly what it means. I was young, british, with no idea who Jackie Gleason even was. It was maybe 25 years later and I'm watching family guy and some fat guy wearing a sailor outfit is fucking peter griffins mum or something, and announces that he's Jackie Gleason, and I think oh shit, so Jackie Gleason is someone famous, and he's a sailor, and I'm even more confused.

I always wondered how many American pop culture references in rap foreigners actually get. Steve has now confirmed it’s probably around 40%.

I haven't been interested in much modern metal at all. I have mainly stuck with older bands. Between 200 Stab Wounds, Sanguisugabogg, this band(Corpse Pile), and a few others I have been finding some pretty great music lately. I am really enjoying a lot of these newer bands.20251209_190450.jpg
